So you've dipped your toes into the camouflage-print trend and now you're ready to try it head-on? Why don't you look to Olivia Palermo and Jamie Chung for some style inspiration? Both gals were spotted wearing the same pair of True Religion pants but in two different ways. Go the army-on-army route: Olivia chose to team her skinny jeans with a belted, olive green army parka. A textured ladylike bag and flats finished the look. Give it a downtown spin: The military-inspired print has rarely been associated with city living, but by pairing her pants with a motorcycle coat and black ankle booties, Jamie lends an edgy spin to the print. A bright blue beanie provides a necessary pop of color. What do you think of the Olivia's and Jamie's outfits? Who wore the pants better?

You might be surprised to hear that for someone who's worked in fashion for more than a decade, my wardrobe is, overall, pretty staid—I wear lots of black and navy, own many striped dresses, and, in the winter, I live in a daily uniform that goes something like this: black dress, black tights, black boots. So boring, no? Ha ha. I've seen thousands of trends come and go, and while I'll dabble here and there, the truth is, my sartorial attention span is way too short to seriously invest too much energy in adopting any given season's hottest print, It color, or quirky silhouette. Until now. This fall, camouflage is everywhere—and I can't resist trying it out! Here's what I love about the camo trend: 1. Camo is forever. Military embellishments—like giant gold buttons and epaulettes—come and go, but army green and camouflage coats have been in and out of fashion pretty regularly (or, um, every fall) for at least the last 10-ish years. So, hey, I think it's time we started calling camo a classic. 2. I really like green. It's a neutral color that sort of goes with everything—well, at least everything black and navy in my read more

Remember how the fall 2013 runways were filled with cool camouflage prints? Christopher Kane's large-scale camos were among some of the best. Well, you guessed it, now those newfangled camos are showing up all over the streets of the current fashion weeks as well. Fashion! Here's Susie Lau (you know, Susie Bubble!) wearing a dress from U.K. brand Whistles. And here are the Beckerman sisters showing off multiple renditions of the prints. Fashion stylist Tina Leung is wearing a top also from Whistles. Note her cheery yellow pumps! These new camos are a trend we're particularly into for fall because even just one piece printed with the stuff adds instant toughness to any outfit. A little goes a long way. Plus, thanks to shiny fabrics and unexpected color combos, these prints feel really modern. They aren't your typical army-surplus patterns. Although we do love those too.

Rihanna is giving us a sneak peek at her second collection for River Island this morning, and as you can see, it has that sporty, urban vibe we saw from her first line for the British fashion label. That means you can expect lots more crop tops, sweatshirts, denim, mesh dresses, and bomber jackets. If you follow the singer on Instagram, then you know she hasn't been wearing much lately (seriously, how many swimsuit photographs has she posted during the past week!), but when she gets dressed, I can imagine her wearing these denim and camo looks. Get an even closer look at the collection in this behind-the-scenes video! Rihanna's second line for River Island will hit stores in September. What do you think of her new clothing line? Would you wear it? read more
